關於推理小說的基本形態，錢德勒透過他筆下的大偵探馬羅這麼說：
Taking the evidence piece by piece, putting it all together in a neat pattern, sneaking in an odd bit I had on my hip here and there, analyzing the motives and characters and making them out to be quite different from what anybody--or I myself for that matter--and finally making a sort of world-weary pounce on the least promising suspect. サー破案。
